FROM OUR PRESIDENT

The genesis of Kerala .dssociation of Greater Washington is to be tiaced back beyond

the year 1975. Presewing, promoting' exhibiting our cultural heritâge; encouraging all

people of Kerala origin to unite as a community for cultural relations, friendship, harmony

ànd-peace and to have a sense of belonging is the purpose of our organization. KAGW isalso working closely v¿ith other sister organizations and well lepresented in various ethnic

festivals and national celebrations. Our youth exuded energy and interaction in coordinatingthe First Indian Youth læadership Conference sponsored by the Federation of Kerala

Associations in North America.

As I reflect on the recent past, we also have suffered the loss of several of our

community members. Their memories will stay with us probably for a life time. Perhaps

we should never assume that we are the only ones to wrestle v¡ith death. It is a universal

partern and is as old as human experience.

KAGW is a nationally and internationally krown organization with outstanding

individuals as its members. If greatness consists in the contribution of character and intellectof the highest order, if it is to be measured by the profound value of solid wo¡k done in the

fields of politics, science, medicine, èducation and social service, Dr. Cherian and Dr. Pal,

Presidential appointees; Dr. Sarangadharan, award winner of AIDS research; Dr. Sakir,

Consulting Endocrinologist of President Bush; Dr. Varghese, Consulting Cardiologist ofPresident Bush; Dr. Subha Vinayakom, winner of Innovations award of the Ford Foundationand Harvard University; Mrs, Y. Nainan, winner of Marshal Green Education award;

Joseph and Mercy Metherat, appointees of Mother Teresa, are beyond question' outstanding

individuals in this country given by KAGW. The traditional excellence by its members

continues to be maintained by its second generation. The most sterìing example of this

heritage is exemplified by a former Junior Club presídent, First,llt. Asha George of 18th

Airboine Corps who has served in Saudi Arabia, Operation Desert Storm and was praised

by Gen. Collin Powell. KAGW recognizes these individuâls for their high achievements and

pay tribute for their many contributions not only to the hldian community but also to this

nation.

Gaining inspiration from its proud and unparalleled history, KERALAASSOCIATION OF GREATER WASHINGTON offers its choicest greetings to allKeralites and our esteemed friends and well-wishers on the occasion of ONAM celebration.l-et us capture the spirit and all the joy of Onam that we all cherished for years.

SECRETARYS RÐPORT

Dear Friends,

We had a busy first half of 1991. At this instance, let us once again rememtrer the

members of the families fo¡ their irreparable loss. Our community support is veryremarkable at this point who shared all the sorrows of the families. All our hearts go to thedeparted children who will be always in our memory

Our activity level has stepped up a few notches. This is the first time KAGWcelebrated the t¡aditional way of Vishu [Malayalam New Year] along with a well organized'ganamela.' KAGW is the first Indìan Association to enter into "ADOPT-A-ROAD"program with the State of Maryland and getting involved in our local community. We had

a seminar on Vayalar poems organized by our Literary Servìce Committee. The same day

we had a memorial service for late Rajiv Gandhi. Also condolence messages were sent to

Mrs. Sonia Gandhi and to the Indian Embassy. We participated in this year's IndianIndependence day celebration conducted by the Council of Asian Indian Associations andIndia Cultural Coordination Committee. We also partjcipated in the reception given by theIndian Community honoring a forme¡ junior club president, First/Lt. Asha George. OurJunior Club was also very busy with activities such as Valentine's day dance, talent show and

the First Indian Youth lradership Conference sponsored by the Federation of KeralaAssociations in No¡th America. We had our annual picnic on June 30th at the beautifull¿ke Needwood Park.

We wish you all a very happy and wonderful "THIRUONAM".

JUNIOR CLUB REPORT

Though 1991 will soon come to a close, the junior club .is still planning severalactivities for the reminder of the year. Hopefully we will receive as much success as we havehaci fo¡ our other activities this year. Our first activity planned was the Valentine's Daydance heìd at the Potomac Communily Center. This event drew a variety of people frompre-schoolers to grandparents. l-ocal youth also helped out to DJ the dance. Next weconducted a bake sale at the Sjva-Vishnu Temple as part of KAGW's first "Vishu,,celebration. The junior club helped out with the annual Kerala Association picnic atNeedwood Park, Rockville. Many of our members attended the First Indian YouthConference at the Catholic University sponsored by the Federation of Kerala Associationsin North Ame¡ica and took part in it. The junior club also helped with the Talent Show inJuly. A new activity which was organized and conducted by the Junior Club was the Three-on-Three basketball tournament held at Hoover Middle School in Rockville. Thetournament was excellent, as many area youth showcased their talents on the court.Throughout the year, the junior club has also been sponsoring a chitd in India through anorganization. We still have plans for the rest of the yea¡ as well. We are planning onholding a ¡eunion dance f<¡r former junior club members, as the 1989 junior club did. Upuntil then, we will be conducting several fund raisers, such as car washes, and bake sales atthe Onam and Christmas functions. We ask that our area youth become more involved inthe planning, coordination, as well as participation in our activities for we need their help,and cannot be successful without their cooperâtion.

SWIMMING ALONBBy: U.B, Chelliah

The 1990s is callecl a decade of clisasters. We have seen the Gulf war; millionsstarving and on the verge of death in the Horn of Africa ancl millions from the Middle Eastlooking for new homes. We have not seen in histor.y anything worse, except the atomicbombs on Hjroshima and Nagasaki, than those burning oil fields in Kuwait. one thing iscommon in all these disasters. Except for the heaving burst of the volcano in Philippines,all these disasters are man made,

Why cìoes the human race precipitate such calamiries? Where cJo we find the answerto this? Is it because of saddam Hussein that the whole wo¡ld went wrong? what is thecause of the growing drr.rg-consumption âmong youth, ol:homelessness and soup kitchens inthe USA? A few days ago, I asked my 8 year old liltle claughter why she spends so rruchtime playing Nintendo. She gave the reply "becar¡se you spencl lìttle time with me." In thatatlswer I knew the reason why Saddar¡ invarjed I(uwait. The last few generations have spentso little time with their families, pursLring a worlcl of cârcer, lnoney anc.l power. The socialcost of such career building - seeking money to pay the rnortg¿rges of the home and ca¡ andthe power to satisfy one's own ego - is the haltpìness ol the family and the children.

I have not con'ìe across any one lnclìan in this colÌntry who cloes not say that he/shespends scl much time working only fol the welfa¡e of their ohilclren and to meet their needs.What welfare and what needs? Children soulehow lealn the farnous expression here -

"Leave me alone." By the time you realize the cìtrmage the system is inflicting on you, youa¡e alone. The children are carried away by the same wave of career, money and power toosoon. "My son is working in the college c¿rnteen ancJ gets his pocket money mowing the lawnof the neighbo¡" is another expression of entreprenc Lr Lsh ip. we have been repeatedlyreminded of the statistics showing the incre¿rse in nur¡ber of cìrug acl<Jiction, suicìde, anäaccidental deaths among the youth. Why?

Have you ever realizecl these numbcl s cor¡lcl be l eclt¡cecl if we could manage to spencia little bit more time with our chilclren? This rs a scjentific worlcl. Do you knori that thereis a theory which says tltat the decrease in the nur¡ber of clrLrg aclcìiction, suicicJe and auto-acc_ident deaths is directly proportional to the increase in the parental hours spent with thechildren? No doubt if you practice this, you wjll recluce youi overtirne from your job andyou may not be a position to live in the sprawling homes wlth jacuzzies anci swimming poolsbut don't yor.r think a shower with a singing chilcl js bcter than an empty sw.imminf pool?

- It is not with any intention, the parents ignoÌe or spencì ìittle rime with their chilclren.It.is one of the major problems of the üfe style everytrocly is hookecl to, and struggle theyall face to maintain it. This is where one woLrlcl lil<e to rcnlind the community, thatlishouldreflect vety seriously on the objective with which, it is tzrcing the strì-tggle. If it is the weltareof the family and children theu let us be very hr¡rrest about it.

Let us not put our children behintì thc u,hecl aìone at the age of 16 in the mâdstreets of New York. A single r¡istake will leaci ro a 1'atal cÌeath. In ihe last few cìays half

dozen Kerala youth between the age group of 76-20 clìe<j in auto accidents in New york,Philadelphia, and in washington, D.c. Many more have been reported injured driving fast.Our youth may say that definitely they are good in driving so what should they be afraid of?The crux of the matter is not how well you drive, but how badÌy others drive. If the societyneeds to undergo changes, it seems that we âll need to change a little bit our present styleof life. If we have to save those children from dying on the streets, we may have to look atour lives from the original goals with which we have set it.

A¡e we to withdraw from the competition? My cJear friends, competition has apurpose to fulfill. None of us would like to compete for the sake of competition. Life is notOlympics, where our goal is to get a gold medal. Our values have taught us that our goldmedals in our lives are our children and their welfare. We rio not have to run fast but haveto slow down a little bit to achieve this. It will be heresy ìf I say, we may even have to workless; but remember that is a heretical imperative. The rnajor problem in the USA is notmalnutrition but overweight and choÌesterol, a sign of over-consumption. Austerity inconsumption and production may lead to a healthier anrl safer life and save the lives of ourchildren.

Everybody has the right to live as he/she likes. Nobo<ty questions that; but thequestion is - DO YOU WANT TO SWIM IN YOUR SWÌMMING POOL ALLALONE?

These words written millennia ago about Kerala is true even today. Kerala immediatelyrecalls to one's mind palm-fringed beaches, meandering rivers, scintillating streams,murmuring brooks, an unending line of luxuriant green vegetation, a continuoris chain ofplacid lakes and lipid lagoons, paddy fiekls sprawling zig-zlg betwe,en hills, mountains andvalleys, mysterious deep wooden serpent shrines, gorg"ous forests *ith a wiáe variety of life,enchanting variegated scenery with its virginal beauty, music of cymbals, magic of dances andcolorful religious festivals.

This Iovely strip of land with a maximum width of 120 Km. stretches along theA¡abian coast for about 600 Km from parassala in the south to Kasargode in the north.Bounded on the north and no¡theast by Karnataka state, on the eäst and south byTamilnadu. This gar<ien state of the Indian union with an area of 3g,g64 sq. Km. and apopulation of over 25,453,680 was fo¡med on November 1, 1956 with the union of Malabar,then the Madras P¡esidency and the integrated State of Travancore-Cochin under the statesre-organization scheme fulfilling a long cherished clream of the Malayalees for a state oftheir own.

I'egelrd and History: Kerala, means the land of Kera or coconut and also known asthe land of cheras. Accor<iing to legend it is a land recove¡ed from the sea by parãsuram,one of the 10 incarnations of Mahavishnu when he threw his axe into the seá to atone hiswanton killing of the Kshatriyas.

before the christian e¡a and lasted till the 12th century AD. They were at'ways'ai wlr wittrthe cholas and Pandyas, the other two ancient kingdois of the sóuth. cheraman perumalwas the last ¡ule¡ of this dynasty. slowly disintegralion began to take place anci Kerala wassplit into a number of warring kingdoms, most important among them was Venad.

Kerala has been one of the.principal gateway to India. Even in the dim past Keralahad trade with countries rike Arabià and'china. MLrchants, voyagers and religious leadersfrom far off lands in those days came to make this coveted iurio tt.i, perãnnial home.Reference about the ancient glory of Kerara can be founcl in the works of Ibin Batuta, the14th century Arab trave er. It ilas been saicr that the spices äom Kerala were used in

53

embalming dead bodies in ancient Egypt. It is also belreved that Kerala's teak wood wasused for the manuf¡cture of the ships that took part in the battle of Trafalgar which broughtvictory to l-ord Nelson. Kerala was known all over the world for its ivory wealth. It wasbecause of its early contacts with West Asia that Kerala came to have its first settlementsof the Jews and Christians and later the Muslims. St. Thomas, the Apostle, is to have cometo Kerala in 52 A.D, to spread the Gospel of Christ. The Jewish colony in Mattancherrywith its synagogue built 1568 is evidence of our ancient link with Palestine. Protestantismwas brought into Kerala by the Dutch.

Peaceful interaction with far flung lands through trade came to an end after thelanding òf Vasco Da Gama, the Portuguese trader at Calicut in 1498. The sandy shores ofthis land have in the past registered foreign foot prints of the Egyptians, Phoenicians,Romans, Babylonians, and the Chinese who had trade relations with Kerala as far back as

3rd century B.C, Of course, the Dutch, the French and the British oame much later. Thestruggle of European domination of Kerala is a tale of sordid intrigue between the foreignpowers who meddled with politics and the local rulers who tried to retain their authority.

Cultural Fusion: Kerala has been exposed to all kinds of influences from the rest ofthe country. Both Buddhism and Jainism flourished in the land. Malayalam the mothertongue of the inhabitants of Kerala belongs to the "Dravidian Family" and has beencompletely bastardized by Sanskrit. Malayalam is spoken by about 90 per cent of thepopulation. The culture of Kerala is essentially Dravidian in character though influence ofAryan civilization and the assimilation of Christianity and Islam brought about by a peacefulprocess of evolution,

The Santa Cruz Cathedral and St. Francis Church in the port city of Cochin areamong the bear¡tiful contributions of Christianity to the cultural landscapes of Kerala. Theancieut mosque at Crangnnore built in the Bth century A.D. under patronage of KingCheraman Perumal is believed to be the first mosque ever built in India.

Maj,or Communities: Kerala has many religious communities, the Hindus, theChristians, the Muslims and the Jews. Communal hatred or religious bigotry is hardly evernoticed in its long history. Nayars and Ezhavas are the two powerful communities whichexercised significant influence from very early days. The Nayars are believed to be ofPolynesian origin and they came to Kerala via Sri Lanka. Both the Nayars and Ezhavasfollow the 'marumakkattayam" or matrilineal descent. There are more than 50 lakhChristians. MusUrrs number about 45 lakh and a major percentage are Mophlas inhabitingin north Kerala. 'Ihey are partly descendants of the original Arab settlers and partly childrenof local converts. They have played a significant role in history, often helping the Zamorinof Calicut in repulsing Europeans by their naval exploits.

Nambuthiri Brahmins are said to have been brought by Parasuram and settled in 64'desams'. They were the custodians of Vedas and Shastras and were very much orthodoxin their outlook. Their population did not increase because only the eldest son in a familywas allowed to marry and the younger ones observed celibacy.

54

_ Major Festivals: The most important festival of Kerala is "ONAM.', onam is Kerala'sharvest festival (Thanksgiving for a plentiful harvest). During ,,onam,,, the people of Keralarevive with a mood of contentment and cherish the memor'ies of a golcJen age of socialistsociety symbolizing the home-coming of the legendary King Mahabaii in who"se time therewas jLrstice, equality, prosperity and well being. Legend hai it that Mahabali was banishedto 'Patala'or the nether world by vamana, anõther incarnation of Mahavishnu at the behestof Devas who became envious of the golden rule of the righteous king. This festival falls inll]" i*jh of cìingam (August-september), rhe firsr month of Kerala's calendar. Duringthe ten days of "Onam the people are in their festive best and the courtyards are beautifulwith floral designs, to form what is commonly called 'pookkalam.' It is ihe time when theseason is bright with clear sþ, rnoonlit nights and the granaries are overflowing withbounties of nature. onam represents the innate spirit of NTalayalees who are over on thelook out of an idyllic world of prosperity and plenty in the puisuit of an ideal which theyhave been cherishing in their minds f¡om time immerno¡ial. There is no other festival in thewhole rvorld which is so secul¿rr in character and socialistic in content. 'Kaikottikaìi, is afavorite. pastime

_of the girls <luring the onam days. The most important colorful event in

connection with onam is the boat race at Aramula, champakulamipayippad and Allappey,symbolic of the sea faring and martial tra<iitions of the early inhabiianìs of Kerala. Thefrenzied rhythm of the snake boats or chundan vallom rôwed by a hundrecl brawnystalwarts is indeed a spectacular sight that will take the onlookers áway into a world ofmerrirnent ancl melody.

The colorful Pooram festival.at Trichur with caparisoned elephants in their gol<Jenglory stride past to the accompaniment of chenda l\4ela and pánchavadyam and theSiva¡athri festival at Alwaye whère the greater river peryar offers a vast ri;er bed for asandy rendezvous for a mass of humanity are two ma¡oi Hindu festivars observed withtraditìonal pomp and glory. Aileyam festivar at Mannarsara preseres a tradition ofvene.rating the_ serpent god. The chandanakudam festival at Beemapa i, Trivandium,is aMuslim contribution to Ke¡ala's religious festivals. Perunal festival Ât Edathua Church isobserved with religious sovereignty by the Christian Community.

tl_lg¡t¡S!_l4¡ad¡¡C: Kerala is wo¡th_a visit during any part of the year. The greentnagic.of the fertile land, the shimmering blue of the sirging-sea, the white cruste<l wavescaressing the golden sand, the.long array of coconut palris Éaning across the lagoons, themagnificent spectacle of the_ Chinese fisúing net againìt the setting sun will cast a"speli thatwill linger iong in the t¡aveller's rnind. A cruise alóng the back wãters ancl a trek aiong thel]T,,]t.r:

For the lover of nature as well as for the student of Indian culturaldevelopment Kerala has rich materials to offer.

Verv Manv Firsts: Kerala has very many firsts to its credit. It is the first state in thewhole worÌd to vote communism into power with democratic means. It is also the only700Va lilerate state in the Indian union. Kerala has the lowest birth rate. Nearli 95 per centof the rubber and 99 per cent of coir products, 70o/o cashew nuls,69Va cardamom a¡eproduced in the state. The state has taken some important steps in the direction of socialand economic justice, the most important among them being the land reforms resulting inthe transfer of ownership rights to landless labore¡s. It is the first Indian state to implementthe policy of workers participation in the management of the government owned companies.The first woman to be appointed as a High Court Judge in the Common Wealth Smt. AnnaChandy is f¡om Kerala. The first poet to be honored with the Bharatya Jana Peeth AwardShri G. Shankara Kurup belongs to Kerala. Kerala has produced outstanding sports starslike Yohannan and P. T. Usha.

The world's largest deposits of thoriurn used in atomic fission is found abundantly inits coastal sands. India's first three dimensional movie,'My dear Kuttychathan' is made inMalayalam.

The Kerala of today is quite different from what it was when the A¡abs andEuropeans came to its shores for purposes of trade and political power and is now buoyantwith a boisterous spirit of spiritual awakening. Keralites have gone not only to other Indianstates in quest of employment and better living, but also to countries far beyond the seas.

I wish to propose to Sunny Wycliffe and Tapan Mukherjee that, may be, it is a surepossibility that the First Recorded Arrival of an Indian to Salem, Massachusetts in USA onDecember 29, 1790 could be a Malayalee from the shores of Kerala?

last May, a very unfortunate car accident claimed the lives of two of the brightest,most charming youngsters of the Kerala Community, Joseph and John Augustine. These twobrought joy and happiness to everyone who knew them. They were an ideal pair: nice, kind,sweet, and caring.

Joe was the elder of the two, twelve at the time. He was a thoughtful, understanding,bright boy. Although he had some problems with his allergìes, he was always cheerful, anddidn't let them get in his way. The younger, Johnny (eleven), was more outgoing andathletic. Joe and Johnny were both excellent students, ahead in their classes. They werealso active members of the I(AGW attending and participating in almost all the functions.Just last winter, Joe was a king and Johnny was a shepherd in the Nativity scene of theKAGW Christmas celebration.

Joe and Johnny were inseparable - they went everywhere together and cared deeplyfor one another. They did not fight as most brothers do; instead, problems that arose weresolved, a compromise always reached in seconds. Both had a wonderful sense of humor, andone always had fun when one was with them. In addition, they cared for other people'sfeelings. They always made sure their company was satisfied. Most of all, Joe and Johnnyalways obeyed their parents. Not once did I see them even question a word their Dad orMom said. Before they did anything, they always made sure their parents agreed. I considermyself fortunate to have known Joe and Johnny personally. I always had fun with them,every time I met them. I will never forget them.

Their loving father, Poulose Augustine, was also seriously injured in the accident.Through God's grace, he is now miraculously in good health. His wife, Joe and Johnny'scaring mother, Thresiamma, has survived this ordeal through her strong faith, and th¡oughthe help of kind, loyal friends. I know this is a very trying time in their lives, and I pray fórthem. Joe and Johnny were unique brothe¡s. The world will not see a pair as kind andsweet as Joseph and John for a very long time.
